There isn't a turnkey solution I know of, but if you can have a tool save voicemails into a folder, you could probably have a script generate text files based on a Speech To Text (STT) solution:
Upset, but not surprised. Bowser has been trying to take over the kingdom for decades.
I recommend using Transwiz to zip up your user profile, you can move the .trans.zip file to a neutral location (external drive, network storage, etc). Of course if you have valuable information stored outside the C:\Users folder, back it up as well. Now you should have a system you can safely mangle, destroy and rebuild without worrying about user data. Once you've built your new setup, extract the zip folder into /home/[your_name] or ~ and you're all set.
With the exception of a handful of titles, this is a quickly evaporating problem, due to Valve pouring millions of dollars into the development of the Steam Deck (motivated by wanting to separate themselves from being dependent on their computer Xbox/Microsoft).
Valve recently passed 11,000 playable or verified titles for the Deck, and since the Deck is Linux, that means 11,000 playable games in Linux (with priority on the most played games)
I think your setup is fine. I use a raspberry pi on each TV in my home as a media player (Jellyfin, retroarch, sometimes steam link) then also make them act as a docker cluster on the backend to play around with making some services 'high availability' so that the service moves around to whichever TV is not under load. I'm also playing with HDMI-CEC on those Pi's to let my home assistant (also running on a single board computer, zima board) send commands to the TVs and all HDMI connected devices. I have a Pi running Open Media Vault with two drives that provide redundancy. The only high power device I use is my Linux gaming machine also doubles as my Jellyfin transcoder.
I too enjoy the silence and lack of moving components of this setup.
Got it. Toph is only an acceptable name if you're prepared to rock it hard.
Yeah, since most of the public instances only make available creative commons stuff it's better if you have a mood than particular artists. I suspect if most people switched they could find new artists to meet their tastes within a year.
My gut suspects that an artist with a good patron following probably has as much take home pay as a similar artist that signed a record deal. If true (and that's definitely an if), why prop up up an industry that exists to siphon as much value away from artists as possible?
Fair. Thanks for indulging my FLOSS plug then. Beatbump sounds nice though.
There's a workaround for this issue.
- Go to https://open.audio/ or https://funkwhale.audio/#get-started
- Register for an account.
- Enjoy over 30k hours of creative commons music, freely shared.
FunkWhale is another decentralized service like Lemmy or Mastodon. (It also runs on ActivityPub under the hood.) Most of the publicly available pods only share creative commons material, simply because it's the easiest to share, but artists can share under whatever license works for them.
If you're technically inclined, you can run your own pod and load whatever music you own onto it, and share it with others (I presume you'll take care not to share beyond whatever license you have permits). Pods sharing pirated music exist, and they obviously should be avoided. Even if you're not technically inclined, many pods allow you to upload some amount of music, you'll want to double check the server's rules to determine if that can be used for your personal library.
You can power the device off by holding power for 12. (I always do 30s when hard booting any device, just to be sure)
You can get into recovery mode by powering on holding volume up while pressing the power button. You're welcome to look around, but I don't think you'll be able to fix it from here alone, but at least this way you'll know the hardware is functioning fine.
Others might have a few things to try next, but if all else fails, these instructions could help install a fresh copy of SteamOS: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3
How would you tag your Dickcissel and your Great Tit going after an Antarctic Shag and an Invisible Rail? Do we want our Flying Steamer Duck having fun with a Fluffy-backed Tit-Babbler?
Honestly, I say we ditch NSFW as a on/off switch and go with a mandatory tagging system. We can clarify NSFW into content warning tags, e.g. CW - Gore, CW - Death, CW - Breast, CW - Genitalia.
Users could then set their own preferences on which tags would cause a post to be masked or simply hidden.
But why stop there? Tags could be very useful in our federated environment to help communities mesh better with each other.
Communities could be able to specify a list of mandatory tags, i.e. the Swallow community could require posts specify African Swallow or European Swallow (or both or neither). Communities could also make some tags implied, so the AfricanSwallow community might just imply that posts are Africian Swallow unless user changes it.
Underneath the hood, all tags are just treated as part of the post text, so the backend performance impact will be minimal. However moderation tools would be able to consider tags when deciding how to handle a post.
Of course, the server/instance owner can then simply make a policy of what kinds of content warnings they require, and communities can then build other tags on that to meet their community needs.
I recommend free and open source software for everyone. Everything on this list is curated to feature the best alternatives to common proprietary software (according to Linux Cafe):
https://gitlab.com/linuxcafefederation/awesome-alternatives/-/blob/master/README.md
This list is good free, open source (FOSS) Android keyboards:
https://github.com/offa/android-foss#-keyboard
I think the best two are Simple Keyboard and AnySoftKeyboard. Simple Keyboard is pleasant to use, but is missing a several advanced features. ASK would be perfect if the swipe typing worked (it's currently listed as beta, and is mostly actuate, but unfortunately when it does make a mistake fixing it is almost painful).
Finally, try to get comfortable going to alternativeto.net when you get frustrated with software. Worst case scenario you get frustrated with different software for a bit and switch back. Of course it notes the price and license model for each alternative.
That seems to be the message everyone is drawing from this.
I think it'll be more insidious than that, there will be Linux, but only "signed, verified" Linux will be allowed, and the only Linux distributions that will make that list are the ones with corporate or government versions. Specifically distributions like Google's Android, IBM's Red Hat, Canonical's Ubuntu, and China's Kylin.
This is still as horrible. Imagine Ubuntu winning the snap vs flatpack exchange, because their OS is 'legit', whereas every other distro is pushed out, because it's too much work to install an unsigned OS.
Basically by allowing websites to refuse to load unless the browser the operating system running the browser promises that the user isn't allowed to know what the computer is doing. And Google super duper promises this won't be used for evil.

My suspicion is they decided to call the messages toots first, to since the average user already knows what a tweet is, then the rest of the naming was based around that.
From weeks in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week
The modern seven-day week can be traced back to the Babylonians, who used it within their calendar. Other ancient cultures had different week lengths, including ten in Egypt and an eight-day week for Etruscans.
There's probably a rabbit hole to go down to get into the mindset of who decided that a seven day week was a better system then what the neighbors are using. Babylonian astronomy and mathematics at the time likely played a role.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonia
And overall there's a rich history to how we divide up the years in calendar reform.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_reform
Personally, I've fallen in love with the international fixed calendar. It proposes getting rid of the 30 days hath November nonsense and making all months 28 days. Take all the month-ends and combine them into a new month Sol, and since 28 × 13 is 364, create a new holiday called world day that is part of no week, no month, just doin' it's own thing. Add on a monthless leap day when needed and like magic, months are now a functional unit of measurement. 1 month = 28 days.
Ahh, so this isn't a processing issue it's a data access issue.
Frankly, if you can't access the raw data of your voicemail inbox, probably no third party developer can too. This means that the only way to implement such a tool would to be to work with the voicemail provider. If they're a for-profit company, they probably have no incentive to make the data available unless there's a big moneybag involved somewhere in the exchange. That's probably why no such tool exists.
